New Orleans Hostel - Marquette House Reviews

Bathroom not cleaned in a while, beds were not straight and unevenly supported with wood. Had to put the mattress on the floor to be able to sleep. Cockroaches in the kitchen part of the room. Room was large and spacious, which is a plus. However, there were also lots of mosquitos in the room and I got bit like crazy.

The rooms are dirty and smelly, and we can\'t open the windows. The internet is not working in the rooms, and barely in the reception hall.

Great price and had availability during busy Final Four weekend. Even though not technically as close as some to the French Quarter, etc, loved the location as it was literally one block from the St Charles streetcar that runs all night. Cheap place to sleep and shower in a great city, will stay here again when in New Orleans.

We stayed at the Marquette House for the weekend of the Final Four. For it's price the value is REALLY good. It was a 7-10 dollar cab ride to Canal/Bourbon and the Marquette House offered free parking. Overall, it's not a 5* hotel, but if you're on vacation to see the city (which we were), and to not live in your hotel room- then stay here. Also had nice showers & no problem with bed bugs. Would stay again.

Great location to jump on a street car and head to Bourbon Street.

At times the staff was personable, other times they weren't. Pretty good location, as it is right off of the St. Charles street car line. The rooms/beds were okay (they seemed clean enough), but the bathroom fan leaked when it rained. It also could've provided a bottle of hand soap... At the end of the day, for $25 a night, we were pretty happy with what we got.

Each person should have some locking space to keep their small valuables.

Generally unclean, lack of service.

This was by far the dirtiest hostel I've stayed in, including Europe and North America. There was trash throughout the bunk rooms, the mattresses had huge stains on them, there were burn holes in the sheets and blanket, and there was no toilet paper in any of the stalls. The staff was friendly, for sure, but the guest who was using hardcore drugs (seriously) made it hard to fall asleep. If this is your scene and you don't mind a very dirty hostel, you'll be fine. Good luck.

The worst hostel I've ever seen in my life! Never again, not even for free!

fthe customers should be aware of the fact that the office of the hostel closes from noon to 5 pm.therefore new comers have to wait outside of the hostel and there is no place to sit outside.

The carpeting was very damp all week; the amount of humidity made all of our bed sheets damp as well. The ceiling leaked when it rained. The bunk beds were not stable at all. If anyone moved at all, they rocked violently. The bathrooms were large and clean, as were the showers. More lighting would have helped in both the bathroom and the bedrooms.

I\'ve never felt more at home except for when I was home with my love in san francisco california. Thank you for the hospitality : ) y\' all are always welcome at my home : )

Wad wat u pay for. Initially it looks dodgey but the people make it great. Because so many people stay there its great fun and easy to meet people!

I stayed at the Marquette House during Mardi Gras, and I think it was a very good value for my money. Just a block away from St. Chrales Avenue, where the parades take place and a half an hour walk away from downtown and the French Quarter (there ir also public transportation available when there are no holidays goign on). Other thing I liked about the location is that is in the Gardens District, where you can see the big french mansions of the 1800\'s just a few steps away.

The female dorm I stayed in only has one bathroom for 12-16 people and it's not very spacious either. The internet didn't work the the night and day I was there - very frustrating. I slept well though and the rooms were clean. Good atmosphere out the park with other hostel goers.

The staff did not seem excited or interested. It did not have a comfortable common area or amenities like TV or internet. The cleanliness was average. The location was good for public transportation

This hostel I think is the best. This was my very first time to stayed in a hostel. It was clean and most of all my bedmates are all very young and friendly. I am very satisfied.

BED BUGS EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!! Bed bug ridden, dirty, and run down house. I could not sleep and my feet were severely bitten by bed bugs. When i ask guy from reception to come over to my room to see dozen of bed bugs hiding in corner of mattresses , he said it must be a mosquitoes and he did not have time to go to my room. Will never ever go near that place.

Its really gross but SO MUCH FUN!!!! great staff, great environment! Its cheap...
